Would I be right in thinking the only thing you'd really be able to get would be canned food? Also, I used to work at a Morrisons supermarket and if you were dumpster diving at that particular store, you'd have to scale some serious wall/spike fixtures.

Yeah I used to work there, too. It did look pretty impenetrable but apparently one of the guys was able to walk out the front door with 2 crates of vokda by pretending he was just taking some useless empty banana boxes. He never got caught for that, but he and a bunch of other guys got fired a little later for stealing DVDs. They'd been doing that for months, too, though.

I'm not really interested in stealing though. I stole something from the small shop where I work and I feel crumby about it. I wouldn't care about supermarkets but I don't know what the risk is.

Right now I'm just curious about looking through the things people throw away. I honestly hadn't even considered electronics but what would you be able to find? Just faulty gizmos? I guess they are still worth something, so I'd take em.

I would have thought restaraunts would dump alot of fresh things they didn't use that day.

i know someone who works for some italian restaurant called il fornello and they basically throw out whole batches of fresh bread they made that day at the end

well yeah that is what i meant. I guess I'll just need to give this a go sometime and see what the heck I find. It's probably totally different depending on the dumpster. Some contain maggots, others hold dubloons.

One time when I was in a dumpster outside a school getting computer parts I met this crazy old man who told me that pentium 2 processors use 24K gold on the processor pins so he was searching for them to smelt and sell. I have no clue if this is true, but he found some...

I really can't imagine some weird old bum guy saying PENTIUM 2 PROCESSOR

not saying that being a computer nerd is the opposite of being crazy it just sounds so technical for a bum to say

wait was he like a homeless guy or was he just some dude who happened to be old and crazy

I don't do anything with garbage but I bought like all my music equipment on credit from old crappy casio keyboards

I was considering recording said Casio keyboards but that seems so gay and indie

Edit: btw is Casio like a generally accepted term for musical keyboard like Xerox essentially means copier or are Casios not in the public consciousness enough

nope, casio would mean watch if anything. in terms of keyboards don't they make fairly low end stuff? like aren't they the cheap alternative to yamaha and roland etc.?

what man i mean i would never consider casio a replacement for keyboard but i associate it more with keyboards than watches, is this just me????

the next one down on the list would be cameras but even then it would take me a while to remember they make them

for me it's watches and then calculators. i'm sure their big thing was WATCHES and i remember in this movie a dude was in limbo and his life was being judged and he had two chances for insider trading that he turned down, in one scene his friend held up a watch and said "it's by a company called casio, it's japanese and it's gonna be big" and he was like "maybe if they were selling noodles i'd invest, but watches? pfffft"

yeah when you say casio I think watches and keyboards comes in line eventually, but i don't think they're quite as big of a keyboard brand as you seem to think there bucko

when i hear casio i think keyboards. but i don't think casio when i hear keyboards. i forgot casio made other things although i remember seeing their cameras now that it's been mentioned. and calculators, but i can barely remember what a casio watch looks like.
